音符

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 音符 (おんぷ) is a score symbol representing pitch and duration. Both examples use 音符を as the object of reading or copying.
• Basic usage: Notes in a score are read aloud one by one; notes written on a board are copied into a notebook.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Notation interpreted as sound and notation copied in writing
  • 声に出して読む interprets symbols as sound; ノートへ写す reproduces their written form. 音符 is primarily the notation, not the sound itself.
